Interesting article, but it could have been written better--there were quite a few mistakes. I feel that any genuine cowboy would be bewildered by modern western pleasure horse shows. Funny how 'cowboy tradition' based things have gotten so glitzy and glamorous.
There really are too many mistakes in this article. Especially for a college course! Great information for those showing Western though.
This article presanted good information. I always thought that there wasn't much difference between a Rodeo and a Western Show. Now I know.
